The regular season of NBA is over, and it means the start of the playoffs. Out of the thirty teams, the top eight team from the Eastern Conference and the top eight team from the Western Conference will compete for the coveted Larry O'Brien trophy.
Just like what I said in one of my previous post, I like the Detroit Pistons since Allen Iverson is playing for them. But before the playoffs begin, AI already announced that he is out for the season due to back injury.
Although the Pistons is one of the best team, winning the NBA Championship in 2004 and getting to the playoffs for the eight consecutive year, I think they are not capable of getting even to the Conference Finals. In order for them to get to the 2nd round, they need to beat this year's number one team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by likely-MVP LeBron James.
Everyone is predicting a finals match-up between the LA Lakers and the Cavaliers. Others are saying that you cannot count out the defending champion Boston Celtics. But with Kevin Garnett out for the 1st round of the playoff and losing their first game against the Chicago Bulls at home, it will be tough for them to reach the finals for the 2nd time.
Here are the results for today's game:
Chicago Bulls 105 - Boston Celtics 103 (OT)
Dallas Mavericks 105 - San Antonio Spurs 97
Houston Rockets 108 - Portland Trail Blazers 81
